touch by visiting brands’ websites-the top method of staying connected to a

control. Less about passive consumption of packaged content.

Social Media for reviews and ratings.
○ Examples: Yelp! And Amazon reviews
■ Potential customers also want negative reviews to assess
product risk.

5. McKinsey Advertising Four Foundations on Social Media:

12. BRANDING

13. Branding
Branding can be seen
as a PR function of
“Promoting and
protecting the
reputation of the
corporation.”
Branding allows a
company to separate
themselves from their
competitors. It also
helps to identify who
or what the company
is or stands for and
what they are not.

Facebooks $2 billion in
quality revenue was

16. Top Companies that advertise on Facebook

19. Promotions, Market Research and Segmentation
Simple Consumer generated media: created without prior request-a simple post
with “@company name”
Consumer solicited media: when brands ask the consumer to create the
advertisement: Hashtags or likes
Incentivized consumer- generated media: offers prizes for participation
Consumer-Fortified media: when adds spark consumer involvement and
conversation
Compensated consumer-generated media: paid blogger and brand influencers

20. The Best of Both Worlds
Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.
This is one that should be followed when it comes to communications. Advertising, public relations,
market research, social media, etc. – they’re all great methods to help you promote your brand. Sure,
these tactics can stand-alone, but they do not bring you as much success as when implemented
together.
The latest approach encourages brands to use both traditional and modern marketing channels and
a variety of tactics to promote and reinforce consistent messages. This method is often referred to as
integrated marketing communications (IMC); it is also sometimes called simply convergence. No
matter what you want to name it, just know it’s a strategy that works!

22. ROI (Return on Investment)
Most of what we call advertising and marketing is predicated on the goal of
converting consumers into customers of products or services.
For businesses, ROI measurement is related to the use of online platforms for
generated leads and conversions to sales.

23. Sweet Spot
If you go on Google and enter a “term” that may be linked to a “keyword”
(Sweet Spot) *Advertiser-dependent
Mostly effective if keywords surface in specific screen locations identified
through “eye-tracking patterns”.
Paid search is most effective when it
appears at the top of a page or on the left
side of it. These are considered hot areas
of the screen.

24. ROI Continued
ROI can be achieved through alignment of social media terms used with
advertising and marketing website keywords.

25. Brand Awareness
Current thinking focuses on clear social media benefits: “the new metrics evaluate
social media strategies in terms of audience building, brand awareness and
customer relations.
A Facebook friends share, for example, is more likely to be seen in news feeds
(29-35%) than brand pages.
Fans and likes alone are seen as “feel good” or “vanity measures” that do not
reflect meaningful marketing context.

26. Social Media Awareness
At the same time, social media has the potential to spark negative sentiment within social
network conversations.
Conversation monitoring and engagement is crucial in order to avoid missing important
moments influence.
Companies need to respond to those consumers and customers using social media to
communicate.
Social listening and engagement is a very important strategy for customers service and
reputation management, crowdsourcing, collaboration and recruitment.

27. Social Media

28. Social Media Cont.
By being a part of social media communities while not in an advertising or
marketing mode, it is possible to build credibility that may be important to use
later.
Due to the rapid growth in social media, it is crucial that companies do not ignore
social media because it's one way to reach a large mass of individuals.

29. Real Time Social Marketing
Mobile phones position a consumer at a specific location within a specific amount of
time. Such as: Swarm, and Facebook.
This gets check ins and access coupons to those who participate.
There are loyalty programs advantages of communication tools by literally reaching
out to nearby customers with new offers.

generating leads and sales, whether or not there is an immediate (ROI).” (Baer, 2013)
